Notes for a text, or from a (failed) practice of writing

This article reflects on, revisits and re-composes the writing practice that I pursued as part of the project "Syros". Fragmented in form, it consists of three different layers of writing that also refer to three temporal stages of the practice: the time before the practice, the time of the practice, and the time after the practice. The practice itself, based on the idea of diary-keeping, was an attempt to explore the temporal aspect of writing, and to share writing as a practice. Other issues that emerge through the text are problems of frameworks and localization, and the question of the relationship of the artist and the work to its context.
